Inclusive Design at Bus Stops with Cycle Tracks

This work is an in-depth investigation relating to infrastructure designs where a cycle track continues past a bus stop. It was prompted by questions around whether these are necessary and effective, and/or whether they make streets less inclusive. This report has used a multi-threaded approach over a project spanning two years. This brought together hard data, softer evidence of real-life behaviours, and learning from literature, consultation, focus groups, and interviews. Initial findings were refined through consultation with people with a range of differing views.

The result is a set of conclusions which describe a complex and nuanced situation, a proposal for a minimum design quality, and the recommendation that a small number of design enhancements are tested to work out whether they solve specific problems
